As well as being one of the uglier pretend words bestowed upon us during the internet age, a ‘webinar’ is also a fantastic – and, crucially, FREE – educational and discussional opportunity. And your chance to take part in our free HD and IP CCTV webinar takes place tomorrow, May 6, at 3pm BST (that’s 1400 GMT, accuracy fans). Register now, and get involved!

Also offering high quality free content is QED, who will be presenting two seminars at IFSEC, both focused on helping installers sell and market their way through the recession. Totally worthwhile!

Oh yeah – apparently IFSEC is happening next week as well. You could visit the official website to browse through all of the exhibitors and educational features – as well as the high spec conference. Special.

Warm, sultry greetings – it’s time for another blast of I4S security newsiness.

Today, Security Installer editor Alan Hyder repeatedly smashes the metaphorical brick wall of security issues with his enormous opinion-hammer, tearing it a new analysis-hole in the process. All this and more is available in his SI Editor’s View, where he talks quite a bit about Google Street View.

We’ve also got the opportunity for you to sign up for our I4S India Weekly Update – a revolutionary concept whereby a polite, handsome and impressively skilled editor introduces the news highlights from an excellent and informative website in the form of an email newsletter. This time around the editor is Verghese Joseph, and the website is I4S India. Wildly inventive!

Don’t go forgetting about the IFSEC Conference 2009. That level of forgetfulness would reflect badly on you as a human being, and would go down on your permanent record. Remember the name! And dates. (May 11-13).
